So My fianceè (F, 24) & I (M, 27) got engaged in may and are currently planning for our wedeing in Aug. It's worth mentioning that I'm the sole earner because my fianceé is still in University, I've saved up decent amount of money to afford the wedding.

From picking the engagement ring on my behalf, to giving opinions on where we should rent and now my FMIL is constantly giving opinions on our wedding. FMIL would follow up on everything we do and make negative comments on things like: the best man, the guest list, and food. She told my fianceè she didn't like who I picked to be my best man and wanted me replace him after a big argument but I said no. Though My fianceè said we shouldve just

    Font - Now the current or biggest conflict between us. MIL called saying she didn't like the venue we picked which is in our hometown. She wanted me to reconsider but I said no since my fianceé liked it too. But my fianceé came to me yesterday to show me a venue her mom picked and already paid for saying since she paid for it then I should say yes this time. I was in shock and angry because not only did she not consult us but the venue she picked is 3 towns away where my BIL lives. I immediately

I bluntly said her mom is indeed making this a game and told my fianceé she's either with me or against on this issue. She either backs me up or there won't be anymore wedding planning. She got upset and started crying asking what she's going to tell her mom and why I was making her choose between me & her parents but I just feel like she's refusing to see why I don't want thi

    Font - We haven't talked eversince that argument. My friend called me ungrateful fool for turning away a free wedding venue over distance but I can't help but feel FMIL did it purposely.

Your MIL is going to do this all the time about everything and it doesn't sound like your fiancée has the spine to stand up to her. You need to have a conversation with her about your partnership and her mother. If you're happy to deal with this for the rest of your life then good luck with the wedding, but if you don't want her interfering with everything (imagine when she becomes a grandmother!) then you need

No matter how amazing a partner is, if they have nosy/overbearing/toxic/etc family, you will have to live with those in-laws in your life and in your marriage unless your partner has already chose to go low/no contact with them. In other words, you REALLY need to find out what your in- laws are going to be l

    Font - CoastalCerulean · 8h Colo-rectal Surgeon [41] NTA Run, OP, RUN! Your parents not being able to make it to that venue should be a deal breaker for your future wife, and her parents. The fact that it isn't shows you just how little they value you, your family, and friends. Think about how this plays with buying a home, having children, raising children- look how much your future monster in law is trying to micromanage your life now, how is it going to be with babies in the mix?
